Dear Terri, What a lovely tea you have there. So delicate are those pieces and yes, the backstamp birdie is a sweet one. You were cozy with your tea safe from the stormy weather.Wishing you blue skies, Ruthie

Hello Terri!Your photos are fantastic. I love your teacup and your tea pot, so feminine and sweet... The photo with the lid is wonderful.I enjoy your parties a lot, thank you for hosting!Besos, Silvina

Well Terri, in your opening you've set the scene for a good tea mystery. :-)After viewing everything that Bernideen has been painting white, your table would look nice either in white or the blue you're thinking of.Judith

Good morning Terri,What a find the teapot is! She is really lovely and the teacup goes so well with her. I like your coffee table. If it was mine I would paint it. I find the details seem to pop more when these pieces are painted. And French blue would be gorgeous in your art room. It is bright and sunny here today and we will welcome it as we have had a very cool Spring so far. Have a happy day.

Dear Terri,oh my, what wonderful treasures you share today. The tea cup and the tea pot are breath taking beautiful - it doesn't surprise me that they are Limoges. This is the kind of weather to sit warm and safe in a room with tea. I love a bit dramatic when it is just from the weather. The cookies look so yummy! Thank you so much for sharing this delightful tea and for hosting this sweet event.Best greetings, Johanna

P.S.: Your paintings from the last post are really great. Your ARE an artist!

We had a couple of stormy days here in San Francisco... I'm totally in love with your new Tea Pot..It's just beautiful...and your new Coffee Table in my opinion is just perfect the way it is...I love dark rich wood.. Happy Tuesday with love Janice

My only name for the teapot handle is Beautiful! The sweet little bird is very possibly a swallow, which is one of my favorites. Your window scene is hauntingly gorgeous. I see gluten free on your delicious little cookie and that's what we must have here, since my husband cannot have gluten. Good find. Congratulations on the cover picture of the magazine. I am going to go see that article now. It stands to reason that yours would be the cover. Your sense of beauty is limitless. As for the table, either way is beautiful.

Hello Terri, We've had stormy weather of late - and cooler. I have enjoyed the soft rain and the glimpses of the sun. Your tea looks quite lovely - I like the table's dark contrast to your light couch - but, am not adverse to paintedfurniture! So delighted to join you and Martha ths week,Kathy

So cosy having tea inside your lovely home, while the sky is turning black, and water falls from above!The sweet beautiful tea cup looks so lovely with your tea with milk- and the tea pot is wonderful- a pretty piece to bring home from your travel my dear Terri.Hope you have nice weather again...here we could use some water for the rose busches!!Hugs and love,Dorthe

Terri, A huge hug and huge Congrat's on the cover of the Altered Arts magazine, that is FANTASTIC!!! Such an honor and you are so deserving, that class is fantastic, you are fantastic! I have to get this! Your tea set look so gorgeous, I love the lid also. I so wish I was sitting there with you....someday for sure! Hugs!

First of all congrats on being a cover girl!! I didn't know this mag even existed any longer-at least it's not sold around here anymore. Lovely presentation despite the stormy weather outdoors. I'd def. not stain or paint the table-I love the dark richness of it especially against all your pretty creamy things!

Hi--I love your posts, Terri! The teacup and saucer are both beautiful--and that table! What a find! I would leave it just as it is--it's wonderful! As far as the paint in the room goes, French Blue sounds so pretty. Enjoy the storm and stay safe and cozy!

Congratulations on the cover! That is well deserved. I love a cozy cup of anything hot when it's thundery. It's so nice! Don't you hate when you want to make some kind of change but there are too many possibilities? Then you hesitate. But I'm sure you'll figure out the perfect color.hugs♥, Caroline

Hey Terri! I love your new table and think the dark color is quite dramatic against the lighter tones in your room. I guess I wouldn't paint it :)

The first thing I thought of when I saw the tea cup was how cool it is that the gold on the handle is rubbed off some. It was well used, meaning well loved in my book! Beautiful images as always and so serene.

We've had so much rain lately and our first spring thunderstorm on Tuesday evening. Buckets of water!

I think we have got some of your stormy weather now, I was just in my craft shed and the wind was roaring in the trees above me! How lovely that your teapot came from near Lymington, that is so near to me! Well done for your publication, so well deserved, I expect you are very excited by that. Those cookies look delish, I see they are vegan too so I could eat them! Your little table looks perfect for tea, I would struggle to paint it as I feel bad painting wooden furniture! French Blue would be a great colour for your craft room. The areas you have shown us always look so pretty. Elaine x
